Hey guys, it's Ali Weisman with Young Hollywood and we're at the Tribeca Film Festival where we're talking with Emma Roberts about transitioning from college into the real world.

I just love your work. I just want to smash your head open and take everything in there.

That's lovely. It really speaks to me. What does it say?

It says wake up, break free from the chrysalis of middle class on we that's imprisoning you.

You're paraphrasing of course, huh? Wow, I can't believe we're bantering like this. This is so cool. So your new movie Adult World is about a recent college grad thrown into the real world. Do you think that that makes someone an adult after they've graduated?

You know, I actually think people become less of an adult as soon as they're an adult. At least my friends and I have joked about that where it's like you think you're the most mature person on the planet and then you like get out of college and you're 20s and you're like, oh, where's my mom?

Do you feel like an adult yet?

I mean in some ways yeah, in some ways no, like I live alone and I have a job and like have obligations but at the end of the day, I also am a kid cuz I want to just like you know run around and play and not have to do anything.

Yeah. Do you still rely on your parents for things? Are you pretty self-sufficient?

I mean, I'm pretty self-sufficient, but I do call my mom like probably nine times a day and text her another five times on top of that. So not totally self-sufficient.

Do you tell her about your personal life or do you keep mom out of that?

Yeah, I mean, I kind of just tell her whatever I feel like telling her. We're pretty close. So we just tell each other everything and talk about everything.

So is mom still booking doctor's appointments, cooking dinner? Is she still very mommish in that way with you?

Um, I mean, yeah, when she she lives in New York and I live in LA but so when she visits, yeah, she's like full mom doing everything mode and I let her cuz everyone wants their mom to take care of them sometimes.

And the movie was filmed on uh the Syracuse campus and you've gone to Sarah Lawrence. Is going back to school something that you would want to do or would be interested in or fully acting now?

Um, I mean, I'm loving acting right now and having so much fun working. I mean, I definitely like always want to take classes and like be able to have that option, but I'm really like loving work right now. So that's what I'm focusing on.

If you were to go back, what would be your field of study?

Um, you know exactly what I was doing. I love photography and literature that was really fun for me.

Do you have a favorite book?

I have a lot of favorite books. I would say I have a favorite author more so I love Joan Didion. Um, so she's like my favorite.

And you're also really into fashion, I believe. Um and you wore your own clothes for the movie?

I wore a lot of my own clothes in Adult World. Yeah. I wore a lot of my own boots, a lot of my own jackets. Um, yeah, I had these Fornetti Baker boots that I wore the whole movie that I thought were they were perfectly beat up for the part. Yes. So, um, I wore those the whole time.

Now, did a wardrobe stylist come into your closet and help you pick out things for this character or did you go in and you knew what was right right away?

Um, I kind of just brought her like a bag of stuff and was like, here's stuff, I think would be good and she picked from that.

Do you have a favorite article of clothing?

Um, I love this leopard jacket that I have. It kind of goes with everything and it's good daytime and nighttime, perfect for New York.
